[Qgis-user] GPS - "The layer is not a valid layer"

Hello,

I am relatively new to Quantum GIS, and run Metis under Ubuntu Hardy
(amd-64).

Tried to download data from an Etrex GPS and get an error "The layer is
not a valid layer and cannot be added to the map".  The settings I used
are shown in the attached screen shot.

However I reckon I've performed this operation successfully before under
an earlier Quantum version.

This seems to be a problem under OSX
(http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1460) but I couldn't find any
reports for other platforms.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers
Tony
